What is the point with the button "Reassign Assignment"?

In Speedgrader, what is the point with the button "Reassign Assignment"?

A student can resubmit an assignment anyway. It does not matter if I "Reassign Assignment" after I have done the grading and submitted.

This means a student can submit again even when passed the assignment, among other strange things.

I believe the reassign button places the assignment on the student's to-do list again. It would be more useful if hitting the button also opened up an additional attempt for a student. But if the student is out of attempts on the assignment, the button won't grant them another attempt.
